An Analysis of the Impact of Character on Gatsby’s Tragedy in The Great Gatsby 学 院：外国语学院 班 级：2009级 英语4班 指导教师：王 欢 姓 名：于 亮 Abstract The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest novels in modern American literature. It is a highly symbolic meditation on the disintegration of the American Dream in an era of unprecedented prosperity and material excess. On the other hand, Fitzgerald shows a running theme of how the American Dream affects all of the characters in The Great Gatsby. He also uses the distinctive writing style to introduce the major characters. On the other hand, according to Fitzgerald’s personality and experience, the 3 male characters are generally considered being written autobiographically reflecting the different sides of the author’s characters, which attracts readers to some extent. Key words: American Dream，The Great Gatsby，Fitzgerald 摘要 《了不起的盖茨比》是美国现代文学史上最优秀的作品之一。它反思了一个空前繁荣、物质过剩时代的美国梦的破灭，展现了美国梦对人们日常生活的消极影响。尽管他们对自己的生活都充满了雄伟的抱负，但变质了的美国梦却粉碎了他们的梦想。此外，菲茨杰拉德还运用独特的手法描述了主要人物。通过对三个男性人物与菲茨杰拉德的对照可以看出：作者从某种程度上是在讲述自己的经历。这也是小说之所以成功的魅力所在。 关键字：美国梦，《了不起的盖茨比》，菲茨杰拉德 Contents Abstract in English……………………………………………………………………i Abstract in Chinese………………………………………………………………….iii I.
